Methods for preventing USB flash drive viruses and data recovery

USB
flash drive is the currently most commonly used mobile storage device. But data
stored in USB flash drive is not safe. Along with the increasing using
frequency of USB flash disk, viruses aimed at it are increasing as well and
data losses often happen, which is very trying. For USB flash drive free from
virus attack, anti-virus measures should be taken. And I will share my
experience with all of you.

As a
rule after we plug USB flash disk into the computer, it will be opened and the
data are shown automatically and viruses in USB flash drive will operate and
infect with the computer. So we should cancel auto play function. The
procedures are following.

3.Uncheck
"Enabled" and select "All Drives" in the box of "Turn
off Autoplay" and then click "OK".

The
above is the method for canceling auto play of USB flash drive. This action is
not enough and we should develop a good habit of using USB flash drive.

1.Verifying
viruses before using USB flash drive: we should use anti-virus software to
check viruses before unfolding it.

2.Unfolding
USB flash drive by right clicking mouse: most people like to double click USB
flash drive to unfold USB flash drive, which is not very correct. The computer
will automatically run autorun.inf file and the viruses hiding in this file
will attack the computer. The right method it to right click USB flash drive
and click "Open".

Those
above are my methods for preventing USB flash drive viruses. Despite those
protecting measures, virus attacks still happen sometimes and cause data loss.
A good friend recommended the free data recoverysoftware MiniTool Power Data Recovery to me and I am using it to recover lost data.

When
recovering lost data with MiniTool Power Data Recovery, I found it powerful. It
has comprehensive functions to resolve data loss problems caused by virus
attack, accidental deletion and formatting, malicious invasion, incompatibility
with software, system crash and other soft faults and is of great compatibility
to run perfectly in Windows and support data recovery
from various kinds of external storage device including USB flash drive, SD
card, CF card, memory stick, mobile hard disk, optical disk and so on.

However,
we are supposed to take actions to prevent USB flash drive viruses in a bid to
prevent data loss as much as possible; if data are lost, we can apply the data
recovery software like MiniTool Power Data Recovery to recover lost data.
